90s Hen Party Dance Class SouthamptonEveryone gets a part. Somebody will insist on the stool.
The nineties ran on groups — five of them, usually, each with a designated personality and one member allowed to do the difficult bit. That structure is a gift to a hen party: your teacher can cast the room, split it, hand out moments and still bring everyone back together for the chorus. The material gets invented in the room on the day, pitched at whoever needs it pitched at, and finished with a filmed run. It runs in one of the rooms we hire near the town centre, or the speaker goes in the car and the whole thing arrives at your hen house instead. £185 for the ninety and £160 for the hour, each covering everyone, with only the venue’s hire cost alongside it.
Two lines from you, a real reply back.
Send over the day you have your eye on, plus a headcount you are allowed to revise later. We send back what is available, which of the rooms fits, what it would cost to hire and answers to anything else you slipped into the message — same day wherever we possibly can, written by someone who teaches.
A decade built for groups of people.
Ask most hen parties what they actually want and the honest answer is: something we can all do together where nobody is exposed. The nineties happens to be the decade that solved that problem commercially — the choreography was designed for five bodies in a line, filmed wide, legible at speed, and copied faithfully in school corridors from the cruise terminals to Portswood. So a dance hen party set here starts with the shapes already half known. It is also broader than the one girl band everybody names first: there is R&B, there is Eurodance, there is the boyband key change that requires four people to stand up dramatically. Your teacher raids all of it. No experience is needed by anyone, and nobody is ever left standing at the back on their own.
Everyone gets cast. The format hands out roles naturally, which is very useful when a party contains one show-off and eleven volunteers.
Outfits are yours. Bucket hats, combats, glitter roll-on — source them yourselves; we bring a teacher and a speaker and provide nothing you can wear.
Bigger than one band. Girl groups, boybands, Eurodance and the odd rap verse nobody will admit knowing by heart.
Ninety nineties minutes.
indicative only — the teacher runs the roomIn, coats off, hello
Bags down and a first track chosen to make somebody shriek. It works every time.
Warm-up, quietly
Loose shoulders, a step-touch, a laugh at ourselves. The routine’s alphabet gets handed over here.
Casting and building
Lines, splits, a couple of featured moments. Your teacher decides all of it live, based on who is enjoying what.
Perform it, film it
One committed run at the whole thing, cameras up, key change landed by the entire room.
the routine is written in the room while you stand in it — pencil, never ink, and never the same twice running
Enough time for a split, a reunion and an ending nobody wants to stop rehearsing.
Compact and complete, filmed run included. Sensible if there is a table booked afterwards.
Anywhere in Hampshire with a rug that can be rolled up. Class fee and no room cost.
everybody in the room is covered by that single figure — no hen party activity of ours has ever been sold by the head
Rooms we hire, not rooms we own.
Two central options, picked to match your numbers, with the hire figure sent to you in writing next to the date so nothing arrives as a surprise. Or skip both and we come to you, which removes the room cost entirely.
the two addresses are spaces we book by the hour for you, and their cost is always quoted before a date is confirmed
Posted back to us afterwards.
“She split us into two halves and had us singing at each other, which was ridiculous and also the highlight of the entire weekend.”
“My aunt claimed she was only there to hold the coats. She is now front left in the video, doing a very confident arm.”
The nineties, queried.
six things worth knowing before you send anything ↓
Is this just the Spice Girls class under another name?+
No — that has a page of its own, and this one goes considerably wider. A nineties session might lean on girl groups for one section, a boyband for the middle and something with a very silly Eurodance chorus for the finish. If your party specifically wants one band and one band only, book that theme instead; if you want the whole decade rattled through, stay here.
How does the teacher split a group of sixteen up?+
However the room suggests, and only if it suits you. Sometimes it is two halves trading a chorus, sometimes a front line and a back line that swap, sometimes a few volunteers given four counts of their own. None of it is decided in advance — your teacher watches the first twenty minutes and then makes the call. Anyone who would rather stay anonymous in the middle stays anonymous in the middle.
What does a 90s hen class here cost the group?+
£185 if you take ninety minutes, £160 if you take the hour, and after that only the venue’s hire cost, which we quote in writing alongside your available dates. Book it at the place you are staying and there is no second figure at all. Nothing is priced per head, so nobody has to chase anybody for a share on the day.
Do we need bucket hats and combat trousers for this?+
Not in the slightest, though the photographs are undeniably better when somebody commits. Anything you wear is arranged by the group itself — we do not supply, hire out or sell outfits, hats, shoes or accessories of any kind. Comfortable clothes you can move in and trainers you already own are, honestly, the correct answer.
None of us has danced since about 1999 — fine?+
Completely fine, and extremely common. Zero experience is assumed here. Steps arrive in short pieces, get repeated well past the point you think you have them, and are pitched at whoever is struggling most rather than at whoever is quickest. It is probably the least intimidating hen do dance class we run, because everybody is remembering rather than learning.
Can we still change our minds about the theme?+
Up to about a week beforehand, freely and without any change to the price. All 39 themes are interchangeable, and swapping between the neighbouring decades happens constantly once the group chat gets going. The date and the room are the parts that matter; treat the hen party idea itself as provisional until you are ready.
